On a break?

So ive been with my boyfriend for just over a year. Things have been strained lately though - i think he's kinda depressed basically. He says he needs to sort his head out...so we're kinda giving each other space. I didnt think it'd be this hard tho :-\ I'm used to talking to him a lot, and i dont like this :frown:
I guess i worry that he'll just get used to me not being around, or decide that he doesnt need me anymore. I know there's not a lot i can do...and i dont know why im even writing this..i guess sometimes, if you can fight your way through the insensitive posts, you guys can be a help.

bleh. any tips?

i've actually been in a similar situation... although he needs to sort his head out, make it clear that you're still there for him (especially if he's actually depressed, then its awful to feel abandoned, even if you haven't been). maybe check in every once in a while, see if he wants to talk.

i am in the same situation, he needs to clear his life up and do 'urgent things' first, like change job blah blah blah..there is no time for me...:frown: i dont like it at all...when i want to do smth with him he just simply tells that he has a headache, or had a stressful day or etc...so i am mostly left alone..tho he tells he loves me more than anth in life, but u know, people can say many things and just actions tell what they really think i guess.

The likelihood is he will get used to being without you.

Not being harsh it's just a strong possibility.
